Bakery Square 2.0

Walnut Capital Partners is planning to break ground on the first office building of its approximately $100 million Bakery Square 2.0 mixed-use development in East Liberty this spring. According to the Pittsburgh Business Times, construction on the six-story, 216,000-square-foot facility is expected to begin in March and be complete in 18 to 24 months. The Pittsburgh Planning Commission is currently reviewing the developer’s proposal.

Located directly across from the United Nations headquarters, the office building’s tenant list includes missions, consulates and non-government organizations. The Carlyle Group purchased the office tower in April for $217.5 million.
